Crema's Take

Kitaro is a cozy Japanese café in Bushwick that's quickly become a neighborhood gem, thanks to their thoughtfully crafted drinks—from expertly pulled espresso to silky sesame lattes and premium matcha—paired with made-to-order onigiris that locals can't stop raving about. The space has a warm, inviting vibe that makes it perfect for lingering over coffee or tea, whether you're meeting a friend or settling in with a book. It's the kind of place that feels both special and instantly welcoming, filling a real gap in the area for quality specialty drinks with a distinct Japanese sensibility.
